Only a friendly dolphin called Ecco can prevent the evil force from twisting the very fabric of reality and enslaving the Earth forever. Taking the role of Ecco, you must use all your brains and skills to navigate a series of alternate realities and restore the timeline to its rightful place. There are four parts to the game (Paradise Island, Man's Nightmare, Dolphin's Nightmare, the Foe's Lair) and you must solve puzzles in each before the Earth can be saved! [SCEE]…Expand

This is the best dolphin game ever made. While that might not mean anything to some, its true. As your controlling an exotic animal in waterThis is the best dolphin game ever made. While that might not mean anything to some, its true. As your controlling an exotic animal in water it could have been easy for the developers to take shortcuts. They took no shortcuts with Defender of the Future and gave us fluid, dynamic dolphin controls and with massive level design not seen since the original Tomb Raider. You may need a guide for this one, as its easy to get completely lost and just have fun swimming around. For that difficulty I deduct a couple points because it makes the game less addictive. Fortunately gamefaqs exists. This is a better game than the original Ecco on sega genesis by far. The story is CRAZY. Nobody could imagine this stuff; aliens, new planets, dolphin gangs, special powers. If you are a true gamer you must experience this one even if you don't end up beating it. Ecco destroys every Endless Ocean game both in gameplay, graphics, realism, and controls. Fish AI in this is more realistic. Sega must have spent a lot of resources making this, and unfortuneately it might not have paid off, but the work is still there. Play this game and give it a try.
